Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Although Carano and the others used the strategy of "striking from east to west", this kind of trick is not a trouble at all to the shield guards who are normally in a constant state to respond to all changes.

Although the gongs and drums in the northwest attracted the attention of many peripheral shield guards, except for Wu Ban's shield guards, the shield guards in other positions did not move at all, just like other soldiers have strong confidence in the shield guards. The shield guards themselves also believe that the group of people who are causing trouble in the northwest of their teammates will be dealt with by the nearby shield guards, and we will continue to garrison in place.

Therefore, when the Guishuang soldiers holding Guduo appeared on the east side, the shield guards led by Xu Ding and others looked very calm, look, this is not coming.

After fighting with shield guards for so many years, Guishuang's dual-talented soldiers, the second talent is either to continue to strengthen defense, or to attack with heavy weapons. After all, only these two talents can be superimposed to fight against shield guards. a bucket.

Other flamboyant talents are basically scraping, and in order to better use heavy weapons to strike such talents, on Guishuang's side, all dual-talent elites with heavy weapons strike talents are basically equipped with long-handled bones.

Although Gu Duo's effect on the shield guard was not so good as time went by, but in the end it was better than sharp, cutting, and piercing talents that were basically useless.

"Shoot a wave of crossbows." Before Xu Ding had time to order to strictly guard the front line and prepare for the first wave of attack against Guishuang, Wu Yi had already issued the order first.

Although I don't know how many people there are, and I don't know what kind of trump card your Guishuang has, but it is absolutely no problem to come to a wave of heavy crossbow strikes to see the quality.

Following Wu Yi's order, the shield guards in front of Xu Ding quickly separated into a passage, and then a large number of shield guards holding crossbows appeared on the front line. Compared with Wu Ban's previous long-distance throwing, this time Wu Yi's direct shot It is a flat shot.

Therefore, when Carano saw a large number of shield guards holding crossbows appearing on the front line, he felt that it was not good, and the densely packed crossbows had already covered them like rain.

Even if this wave of blows against Wu Yi is based on the fact that the opponent is not a defensive unit and uses conventional iron-clad crossbows, but the short spear-level thing pierces through like flying sand, and the blow to Guishuang is really like a Like reaping wheat.

The Guishuang soldiers at the front were directly blasted to bits and pieces, and the brutal straight shooting directly tore a bloody path on Guishuang's front, and the charge was directly held down.

Even Carano, who had sworn before, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him every three or nine days at this moment. What kind of ambition, what kind of sneak attack, facing such a rain of arrows was a joke.

Compared with Guishuang's arrow rain attack on the shield guards, which can't even be regarded as scraping, the Han army's use of Guishuang's crossbow machine coverage can be said to be a devastating blow.

It can be said that just a wave of flat shots directly blinded Carano's subordinates. Even if the death squads rushed to the forefront, the death squads died in an instant, which was enough to make everyone feel cold. The value of the crossbow machine shield guard, It was shown on the battlefield for the first time.

"Retreat!" Carano ordered decisively, even if he used his life to fill up, it would not be such a rush, and their formation was not suitable for facing the ballista salvo at all.

At any rate, the Da Yue clan also experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and witnessed how the Daqin crossbow formations slaughtered legions from other countries. Although the Daqin crossbow formations were powerful in that era, the Six Nations could not fail to make breakthroughs by adjusting their formations.

But since it has been said to rely on the formation to break through, the normal dense charge square formation is definitely not suitable for facing the crossbow formation.

Therefore, after a wave of heavy blows, Carano decisively took advantage of the chaos and retreated quickly while it was dark. Naturally, Wu Yi also quickly added a second wave of shooting, but this time the effect was not very good. It is very effective to fight in a dense army formation for flat shooting, but it is not as good as infantry in a skirmish front. Carano is also a person who knows soldiers, so he retreats directly with skirmishers.

Wu Yi's second wave of additional arrow strikes was naturally less lethal, but even so, the two volleys at least caused Carano to lose nearly a thousand people, and this was just an integrated crossbow machine shield guard. In the attack of the legion, Wu Yi has three such legions.

After two consecutive rounds of anticlimactic night raids, the surrounding area of ​​the Han army camp suddenly became silent, as if Guishuang had completely given up the night raids, but Wu Yi and the others had a keen intuition that they vaguely sensed that General Guishuang did not Leave, at least not give up.

Information from Helan and Carano was quickly gathered to Brah and Helilah. Both of them looked very solemn. They had stockpiled a lot of ballistas in the past few years, and they were going to give them to them during the night attack. The Han Dynasty attacked, but unexpectedly, the Han Dynasty prepared more crossbows.

"It is estimated that the number of crossbows will exceed 10,000." Helilach said to Brahe with a gloomy face after combining all the information from Helan and Carano, "This scale is too unexpected. The strength of the Han army is even more outrageous than we imagined."

"We're on the opposite side of the line, why haven't we reported this?" Braher looked at Helilach with a livid face and asked.

In order to build these more than 3,000 crossbows, Brahe cut down all the forests from the west of Balayaga to the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.

Although these forests were cut down, it was not entirely for the purpose of making crossbows, but more to ensure the expansion of vision and prevent the scouts of the Han army from relying on the forest to touch the vicinity of Baloyaga, but more than 3,000 crossbows really cost a lot of money. It took Brahe a lot of energy.

Brahe intended to use this thing as a trump card, but as a result of his hard work, the Han army next door somehow possessed 10,000 crossbow machines. In machine confrontation, power is only one aspect.

At least the Han army's crossbow machine, within the visible range, hit most of Guishuang's soldiers, and it was enough to kill them directly. This kind of power is enough.

Helilah was quite silent, and turned the short spears brought back by Helan and Carano. As a staff officer who personally organized and produced more than 3,000 crossbows, he naturally knew that the short spears used as crossbow bolts were roughly size and power.

Knowing this, Helilah had to doubt his own internal line. It is impossible for 10,000 small and medium-sized crossbow machines that can use short spears as crossbow bolts to be manufactured without some information flowing out, unless these crossbow machines are not produced by the Ganges.

Thinking of this, Helilah recalled the information passed by his insider before, and thought about the information about Jin Hou and Chen Hou, and had some vague guesses.

"These crossbows were probably produced and transported by the Han Dynasty." Helilach said, "The Jinhou and Chenhou of the Han Dynasty came here in person, and it is reasonable to bring a batch of crossbows."

"Ten thousand crossbows is not a small number, especially for this kind of medium-sized crossbow. The manpower and material resources are not small when they are transported from the rear. Moreover, the distance is far away, and the mechanical loss will be very large." Brahe looked at it with a frown. Helilah said.

"It was transported by sea." Helilah said with a sigh, "In the past, it was impossible for the Han army to transport supplies by sea, but after the death of His Royal Highness Celian, no one can stop the sea transport, at least under Zhou Yu's escort. Yes, with the transportation capacity of the Han army, 10,000 crossbows are not a problem at all, and even if the Han army has more, they can be transported."

When Brahe and the others heard this, their expressions were extremely ugly.

"In other words, the Han army may have more crossbow shield guards?" Brahe said with an ugly face, even he had to admit that Helilach's analysis was correct.

"It sounds outrageous, but in fact, it is normal." Helilach looked at Brahe and said, "So next we need to use the method of the Six Nations to face the Great Qin Crossbow Array to fight against the Han army , we don’t know how many crossbows the Han army is equipped with, so we can only fight in the same way that the six kingdoms faced Qin.”

After all, Helilah is a descendant of Sogdian historians, and he has read these old papers a lot, so he still has some ways to deal with this situation.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask one thing, how could they have so many crossbows?" Brahe suddenly asked, "I didn't think it before, but this time it's too outrageous, I spent almost two years , organized so many people and did nothing to make three thousand crossbows, and the Han army unexpectedly produced tens of thousands of crossbows casually."

Theoretically speaking, the production of large and small crossbows is the easiest, but medium-sized crossbows are the most difficult to produce, because when large crossbows are assembled, the parts are larger and smaller, and the parts can be adjusted, and the requirements for plates can also be appropriately reduced It doesn't matter if the production is rough, after all, no one will have too high expectations for the accuracy of the bed crossbow.

Small crossbows can be made by a professional craftsman with an apprentice alone. Practice makes perfect and the efficiency is relatively high.

On the contrary, medium-sized crossbows are the most troublesome, and according to the size of the equipped crossbows in the Han Dynasty, all medium-sized crossbows are the most difficult to make, which is outrageous.

"The Han Dynasty is different from us. They can move the crossbow machine to the assembly line." Helilah said calmly, "This is the legacy of the Great Qin Dynasty, but we don't have it."

"We can learn." Brahe said seriously.

Helilach looked at Brahe as if looking at a fool, "Do you know why it is said to be the legacy of Great Qin? This means that there must be a character like Qin Shihuang to do it."

The assembly line is easy to say, but the initial requirements are unified weights and measures, uniform precision, process disassembly, and the cooperation between skilled workers and technical workers.

But this requirement is completely impossible for Brahe, not to mention Brahe, India will not be able to completely unify the local weights and measures in later generations. There are several common measurement methods in a country, as well as several railways. Several languages, several testimonies.

"You seem to admire Qin Shihuang very much?" Brahe looked at Helilach with some strangeness, "From your tone, I heard other feelings."

"We need a character like that," sighs Helilach.

Since being beaten by the Han Dynasty for the first time, Helilah was able to withdraw from the main battlefield, and had time to calm down and read his own books, and search for and read the classics of the Han Dynasty to understand, learn, comprehend, and understand this from the historical classics. The essence of a strong state.

However, after reading more, Helilahe understands more and more what Guishuang lacks. Their Guishuang Empire has no shortage of people, food, soldiers, vast land and abundant resources, and they lack a Guishuang like Qin Shihuang. The great emperor who kneaded the inherited heritage into one and passed it on.

If there is such an emperor, many problems will no longer be problems, such as the issue of the commander of the large army, the issue of the organizational strength of the soldiers, after solving their own internal conflicts, it is not that their Guishuang piles of combat effectiveness cannot produce such combat effectiveness.

"Without such a person, many seemingly simple things are just empty words. Only such a person can create a complete soul for a huge empire." Helilah said very seriously, "The six countries are not one, but The one who created the foundation of unity, the Han Dynasty inherited the legal system and was able to carry it forward."

Brahe didn't know why, and Helilah didn't want to say more. He knew in his heart that he couldn't solve the internal and external cultural problems, and couldn't complete the unification in details such as customs, written language, and weights and measures. Split into hundreds of states.

"Forget it, it's useless to say these things. In short, a group of five will use the ballista. After the shooting is completed, quickly push the ballista away from the spot, and then shoot again. We are using a ballista, the purpose is to facilitate movement." Helilah said to Helan who commanded the crossbow troops.

"Okay, I will do my best." Helan said cautiously, and then explained his previous experience, "I mean that the thick wood of the crossbow can block the opponent's crossbow, so why don't we try to use the thick wood to block the opponent's crossbow machine?" Put the shield on the car, and then push the car to attack."

Brah and Helilah were taken aback when they heard the words. They had never thought about this kind of problem. It would take 30 to 40 centimeters to replace the shield guards' shields with wooden ones to have the defensive power of the early steel shields. However, due to It is too thick, and its weight is too ridiculous. It is impossible for Guishuang soldiers to use it, so this issue has never been considered.

However, Helan faced Wu Ban and led a volley of crossbow shield guards before, and hid under the crossbow, and was able to escape. He hadn't thought clearly about his escape from death before, but Helan even constructed a 楯 in his mind along the way. shape of the car.

My wooden shield can't withstand the blow of your crossbow, but I can always withstand the blow of the cart, and I don't even need special processing. The century-old tree is cut down, and the wooden stakes tens of centimeters thick can be warmed effectively. After that, set it up on a car, and thousands of units can be manufactured in a few days, which is much easier to manufacture than a crossbow.

"Is this the way to use it?" Brahe looked at Helan in surprise, then took a deep breath, "Return to Balajega first."
